San Diego Dental Bridges

Dental Bridges

A full set of teeth is not only attractive, but also has many other benefits. Missing teeth can impede everyday tasks like speaking and eating. Dental bridges are composed of two crowns on either side of a gap that is "bridged" by a replacement tooth between them. Bridges restore the function and look of a full set of teeth, making chewing and speaking easier and giving patients the confidence to smile widely again.

Our dentists will prepare the teeth on either side of the gap to receive the crowns. This involves roughening the teeth so that the crowns may be attached securely. An impression of the teeth will then be made so a custom bridge can be manufactured to fit your mouth. When the bridge arrives, it will be adjusted for a proper fit and bonded to the teeth. Dental bridges restore function to your bite so that you will be able to chew, speak, and smile in a healthy, natural way.
